You can know everything from this. Awesome Work Tim.
Great prelaunch preview .. very detailed Information.. The best website.. Fabulous work Tim. keep it up. Love from India…
Great content! Very glad to see these getting posted :) Now I don’t have to scour through the SpaceX press kit :)
I believe it is the 61st f9 launch not the 60th. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Great job Tim, very useful :)
but ye, I actually believe this wasnt 60th, nor 61th F9 flight :DD Hispasat was widely reported as a 50th F9 mission – and assuming launch manifest on SX´s website is up to date prior next flight – it should be only 59th flight.
Clearly two of us three are missing something :D Can you double check it, Tim? thanks
Well, Im thinking about it… there is CRS-7 and Amos-6 missing in manifest, obviously. So, if Hispasat was 50th, it means CRS-7 was counted (tho is missing in manifest) and Amos-6 wasnt counted (as it never actually lifted off). Still, it means (to me) today it was only 59th officialy counted flight. Pls, bring some more light to this guys, Im really curious :P
Ok, so I got it in the end (sry for the monologue) :P
The problem was I assumed SX´s manifest is complete…. it isnt. For some reason there is last CRS (15) flight missing in it – that makes it 60th.
Gabe, why do you think it was 61th? Did you count Amos-6 in there? (which we shouldnt I guess)
Hi Tim. Just watched this launch and excited to see the rapid reusability of these boosters. I’m wondering if this development puts all other space carriers out of business. IF spacex can use the booster 10x they need to build 10 boosters for every 100 boosters of any other launch provider. I don’t see how anyone else can compete. Let alone this allows spacex more room to develop new technology and gather more data from its launches. We all have be preached at that data is king and spacex has exponentially more data the any other launch provider. It also means spacex can work on the BFR and developing that launch system and not worry about building new rockets because it needs to build one rocket for every ten of any other provider. This is situation would be like if Tesla was the only electric car maker right now and if the other car makers were only pursuing hybrids (Ariane Space, Boeing (partial resuability)) or just not letting the public know what they had up there sleeve ( Blue Origin) while Tesla has already sold all the cars they could make for the next two years. (5000 a week level with the current deposit levels). To me it looks like a dire situation for all other providers. Elon was arguing with Warren buffet about moats in May and it looks like he has created a massive moat around this company he has right now in spacex.
Thanks Tim Dodd for this website.Now I am imformed of every launch
